Hmm, I would disagree... Upon handling a WIDE1-1 hop request, the
digipeater should insert its call, and then place the used up hop
request in the packet with the has-been-digipeated bit set. ie.
BALDI,WIDE1*

I'm not sure if a soft reset clears the delay, or if you have to do a
hard reset... observation of packets i-gated through the station will
rapidly tell you though. These delays can take a couple weeks to
manifest themselves in the KPC-3 hardware. Not running KISS mode keeps
the problem from cropping up.

Yup, abusive users can really show where the problems are... using the
declared WIDE2 alias helps, as running WIDE as an alias with a hop
limit of 2 would still digipeat WIDE7-2, WIDE6-2, WIDE5-2, WIDE4-2,
WIDE3-2, WIDE2-2 and all lower SSIDs.

Obviously before the change, you were running WIDE with a hop limit of
3, hence the WIDE6-3 activation.

Yup, know the backstory... endured that on the NWAPRS sig. That other
machine is supposed to be on another frequency.
